HANDLE for a child- testimonial
“We began HANDLE for our son Henry to help him with his remaining challenges. To name a few, Henry’s spontaneous speech was visibly hard for him, he was very restricted with his diet, unable to sit still, very reluctant to write and found it difficult to keep himself regulated and had frequent meltdowns. Since we began HANDLE Henry has become noticeably more calm and grounded and able to self regulate and his speech has improved in terms of fluency. 6 weeks after starting HANDLE Henry ate a chicken nugget! Something we had been working on for about 5 years!
HANDLE has complimented our Son-Rise programme perfectly and is a wonderful way to help your child with areas of challenge with wonderful support. Sean always makes sure the activities are suitable for Henry and offers numerous ideas and amendments to ensure that Henry is motivated and interested in the activities and we have been able to work on many goals and through periods of high anxiety for henry also. Our only regret is that we didn’t start HANDLE earlier.”

A mother's testimonial
As a parent of an adult person with disorders I am as calmed as I have never been before. Somehow in all Igor’s life periods he always had some supportive people, overcoming stressful times and tuning into his social surroundings, but your “push” was the one to make him the most independent – therefore I am very grateful.

HANDLE opens the door... reflections on a HANDLE® Assessment
Excuse the ridiculous pun, but it really does. It opens the door to possibility and insight.
Possibility that difficulty could become eased. In my experience it has a sort of domino effect; once you have learnt about HANDLE, you view the world differently.
Let me explain.
